  Week 8 Highlights (19/06/2024 - 25/06/2024) This week was productive, marked by successful PR merges and progress on new milestones. Early Wins: In the first two days, I addressed all outstanding comments on PRs for M1.2, M1.3, and M1.4, leading to their successful merges. I encountered a challenge with the M1.2 PR related to the Docker volume cache (CI cache not refreshing). To resolve this, I created a new PR and successfully addressed the issue. Continued Progress: Later in the week, I focused on M1.5(a) and M1.6. I created and merged a PR for M1.5(a), which involved updating the navbar and writing acceptance tests to ensure its functionality. I also created and merged a PR for M1.6, which covered adding the hero and partnership sections to the About page. PM Demo and Next Steps: On the last day, I presented my progress during a PM demo. The feedback was constructive, and we identified some bugs that require attention. I plan to address these comments and aim to create ...

  Week 7 Highlights (12/06/2024 - 18/06/2024) This week was a whirlwind of activity, marked by significant progress on multiple milestones and a strong focus on addressing feedback and delivering high-quality code. M1.3 Triumph: I'm thrilled to announce the creation of the M1.3 PR ( https://github.com/oppia/oppia/pull/20457 ) on June 12th! This milestone represents a major accomplishment, marking the completion of the CTA section with all its components. Collaboration and Iteration: Demonstrating my commitment to continuous improvement, I diligently addressed comments on both M1.2 and M1.3 throughout the week. This collaborative approach ensures my work aligns with the team's vision and addresses any potential issues. The latter part of the week saw me tackling failing tests related to M1.3. Successfully resolving these tests ensures the functionality and stability of the newly implemented features. M1.4 Progress: Eager to move forward, I dived into M1.4. I began working on the...

  Week 6 Highlights (05/06/2024 - 11/06/2024) M1.3 Progress: I efficiently removed the code associated with the "Easily create lessons, Get started" sections as part of M1.3. This included HTML, CSS, unit tests, acceptance tests, i18n keys, and images. Streamlining the codebase ensures optimal performance and maintainability. I focused on implementing the basic layout for the Call to Action (CTA) section, which plays a crucial role in user engagement. Throughout the week, I actively addressed feedback on PR #20410, ensuring my implementation aligns with best practices and project requirements. M1.2 Completion: My efforts paid off! I successfully implemented the Partners CTA section for M1.2, further enhancing user interaction possibilities. Additionally, I addressed valuable comments received on this milestone. Collaboration and Iteration: Demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement, I diligently addressed comments on PR #20111 (M1.1). Integrating the donate button w...

  Week 5 Highlights (29/05/2024 - 04/06/2024) Collaboration and Iteration: I actively collaborated with my mentor during our meeting, discussing project details and receiving valuable guidance. Responded diligently to reviewers' comments on Pull Request (PR) #20333 (M1.1). I addressed all their concerns in a dedicated commit on June 1st. Addressing Challenges: Encountered failing tests on a M1.1PR. However, I demonstrated my debugging skills by fixing the tests and addressing related comments on June 2nd. M1.2 Progress: Following research and evaluation, I identified chartcss as the optimal library for implementing the bar charts in M1.2. This decision was based on its performance and integration capabilities. On May 30th, I successfully updated the bar chart component logic to utilize the chosen library. I continuously refined the UI of the updated implementation with bar charts, making progress throughout the week (May 31st - June 3rd). Wrapping Up the Week: My persiste...

  Week 4 Highlights (22/05/2024 - 28/05/2024) This week was a busy and rewarding one, filled with progress on several project aspects. Backend Understanding and Feature Development: Early in the week, I focused on understanding the backend code related to "updating blog post tags by blog-admin." This involved delving into the "blogs" section of the codebase. By analyzing the code, I was able to devise a solution and subsequently created a  guide  for clarification. This guide will be a valuable resource for the partnerships team for tagging the existing suitable blogs with the new tag. I then created this Pull Request #20346 for adding the new tag. Collaboration and Problem Solving: I had a productive meeting with a member of the Docker team to discuss a specific  issue . I appreciate their assistance in providing a temporary solution until the main issue is resolved. This collaborative effort helped me navigate the challenge and keep moving forward Refined Week 4 G...
